Qh. Zeng et al., THE REDUCTION OF EU3-EU( IN SRB6O10 PREPARED IN AIR AND THE LUMINESCENCE OF SRB6O10), Journal of alloys and compounds, 277, 1998, pp. 238-241
The reduction of Eu3+ to Eu2+ in SrB6O10 prepared in air by a high-tem
perature solid state reaction was studied. The luminescent properties
of Eu2+ in this matrix show f-d broad band emission peaking at about 3
86 and 432 nm at room temperature. A charge compensation mechanism is
proposed as a possible explanation. The luminescence of Eu3+ with f-f
transitions was studied in this sample and reflected that the Eu3+ ion
occupied a site with non-centro-symmetry. The ESR spectrum was used t
o detect the existence of Eu2+ in the samples. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scien
